Sarfati, who turns 20 on Dec. 9, was a first-team all-star and the leading scorer in the Greater Ontario Junior Hockey League’s Western Conference last season with 78 points in 50 games.

He’s tied for second in the conference this season with 37 points in 24 games, one point behind Austin Thompson of the Maroons.

The native of Macomb, Mich., has 67 goals and 170 points in 120 career regular-season games in the GOJHL. He's in his final junior 'B' season.

Sarfati is the latest big-name talent the Maroons have acquired from the Predators. Western MVPs Adam Arseneault and Kyle Brothers, as well as Ryan Fraser, Tanner Ferguson, Connor Annett and Steven Beenackers, also came to Chatham in trades since 2013.

The Maroons have given up Beenackers, Jay Ritchie, Matt Kenney, Drew Marlatt, an underage card and cash in the various deals. None of those players stayed with the Predators for a second season.

Beenackers, the current Maroons captain, was part of two trades. He was dealt for Brothers in 2013 and brought back a year later.

Sarfati didn't play for the Maroons on Thursday in Sarnia. He's serving a five-game suspension for his match penalty for attempting to injure in the Predators' game last Friday in St. Thomas.

He has three games left, so he can make his Maroons debut Saturday, Dec. 10, in Strathroy.
